The difference between rabbits and hares is that rabbits are born bald with their eyes closed; hares are born with hair and eyes open. Rabbits run for short distances; hares for long ones. Rabbits have short legs and ears; hares have long legs and long ears.
"The difference between sentiment and being sentimental is the following. Sentiment is when a driver swerves out of the way to avoid hitting a rabbit on the road. Being sentimental is when the same driver, when swerving away from the rabbit, hits a pedestrian."
FRANK HERBERT
